I am answering under the assumption that those are cacti in the desert. Well as we know, cacti are producers they have the ability to synthesize their own food using photosynthesis which is a process that converts solar energy into glucose “food”. It has the ability to be a good source to small animals with its fruits and seeds. An example is, some insects feed off the nectar from the cacti. A second reason is that cacti are carbon sinks meaning that they take in carbon dioxide. Just to familiarize you the formula for photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O + energy equals glucose + O2 . Without carbon dioxide none of it is possible. Without cacti, CO2 levels would increase leading to bad affects.
Answer:
Some cells, such as erythrocytes, will actually burst as water enters them by osmotic flow. Rupture of the plasma membrane by a flow of water into the cytosol is termed osmotic lysis.
Answer:
anterior pituitary gland.
Explanation:
The growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland is responsible for the growth of bones and soft tissues during the growing age. The hormone stimulates lipolysis to increase the release of fatty acids for ATP production as required for growth.
It also reduces the uptake of glucose from the blood to ensure fuel availability for growth. In the absence of growth hormone or its hypo-secretion from anterior pituitary results in stunted growth. The individual is short in stature than the other individuals of the same age group. The condition is called dwarfism.
Answer:
genotype
Explanation:
Within an individual organism, the specific combination of alleles for a gene is known as the genotype of the organism, and (as mentioned above) the physical trait associated with that genotype is called the phenotype of the organism.
